Not much of an update. Just replaced my front brakes. Oh boy was I living on the edge. 3 out of 4 were getting to bare metal. The last one was bare metal and made the passenger side suspension and knuckle look all sparkly with metal. Good job me not replacing what probably is 20 year old brakes. Rears weren't bad, replaced them last year but installed the shoes wrong. Went ahead and replaced them and hung onto the year old ones. New VS. Old: Something exciting is going to happen:

Is your truck in the registry? If so did I provide a build date? I can give a build sheet for ya too if you would like.

I’m gonna do a photo dump of what I have so far for my books: (automatic trans. AMC really went with a blinding color) And the best for last. I got this from a gentleman off eBay whom I’ve bought a good chunk of these books from and he sent me this gem in great condition: I love this magazine already.

Boldly going where no JK's have gone before.

Welcome back. You won't know me but if your truck is in the registry, I went through and curated every VIN with a build date. If you would like I can provide a build sheet for you truck. slight problem with them is Chrysler has reused some sales codes over the years so everything may not be as accurate as it should be when AMC built it. All the 89-92 have accurate info.

They’re just trim pieces. Problem is in 91 Chrysler switched over to a three piece set up. So you can either use the three piece of ask someone to snag those trim pieces from a junk yard Cherokee or Comanche from 84-90

Sounds good. I’ll let you know.

I got a GM one coming in the mail, will report back on that.

That’s the Renix ICM. Should be a Renix logo or sticker on it somewhere.

Oh yea. I frequent them all the fricken time. They practically know me. I thought about making a trip and looking but they value their columns and don’t like parting with a lot of the pieces. I’ll have to look into that Glendale one though.

I got to thinking about the specs on this ECU. Anyone think a 4.0 stroker benefit from this ECU? I’m thinking it would.

I could do that but what I want is to have the nut actually tighten and snug the wheel to where the wheel will not wobble. The nut is at that point where a size up rethread would make it useable again. I can tighten the nut but it will continuously spin which the never seize would fix that but not snugging the wheel down.

500, if there’s lots of goodies from those forgotten relics, snag em.

I’ll try doin that. For now I ordered the nut off of eBay. Problem is I can’t seem to find salvage or junk yards very well on maps.

Despite these columns being everywhere, I can’t help to feel that I got the most GM column out of all the ones AMC purchased. Since day one it bugged me I had a GM ignition key to an AMC vehicle. Granted I understand that AMC bought GM parts and I get that. But the real problem here is this: This nut threads on but not as well as I’d like. I tried the replacement crown nut that traces to the MoPar number. No dice. Threads on for a little bit until it gets tight and starts rethreading the nut. So has anyone ever ran into this issue? The threads are almost gone on this nut and wondering if I should try the GM nut and see if that will work? Also it almost looks like I need to rethread the threads on the column. Does anyone have some tap and dye sizes that will work best to clean up the threads and straighten them out? Hate how this nut barely holds the steering wheel in place.

You'll get it. Its pinned in the pub.

Neat. Hang on to that, also post a picture of the cover in the literature section.

What year is your catalogue? Chrysler shows that your part number does not supersede to what Stroker has just picked up. But that's neat info. Saves me a phone call tomorrow.

Done. Go check it out.
